The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.

A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.

Key Benefits

Integration with SharePoint 2010

Improves productivity by expanding access to design data

Enables asynchronous concurrent design

Incorporating design data management allows designers and design teams to work in parallel—with significant savings in the schedule—thanks to robust data vaulting and version control. Non-CAD users benefit from access to current design documents and view-and-mark-up technology that enable them to return comments directly to the design owners.

Providing a configurable PCB Team Design environment allows companies to define and implement standard design methodologies across multiple design disciplines. Use of best practices maximizes individual productivity and reduces design through­put time. Parametric component searches tie into your company’s preferred components database, promoting the use of approved and preferred parts, vendors and manufacturers reduc­ing component research time by as much as 75 percent.

Once you have your design, how do you ensure that your plans are properly communicated to the manufacturer? IPC-2581 is an open, neutral, global, independently developed and maintained format for communicating PCB build intent to manufacturing. This format is supported in both Allegro® PCB Designer and OrCAD® PCB Designer.
